With only a mere few more sessions left to come we are happy to present to you the very talented Raphael Saadiq performing a classic 70’s track by The Spinners.
Co-written by Stevie Wonder, the vintage track is certainly fitting for Saadiq’s own sound which is deeply rooted in soul and R&B (it’s also quite apropos that he wears sunglasses the entire video). “It’s A Shame” was laid down at L.A.’s Blakeslee Recording Studio and has to be one of our most favourite tracks yet so be sure and give it a good solid listen or two below!
